Fear Itself
Rogue Wave · Other Songs - Rogue Wave
We're the only survivors
Got nothing but the sea, sea around me
We're breathing in smoke
The servants have spoken
Wonder how they could breathe, breathe without me
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go without me
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go without me
We would
We would
We would just fade away
Can't you feel the fear itself?
Can't you feel the fear itself?
Can't you feel the fear itself?
Can't you feel the fear itself?
Through inelegant eyes
The secession is spoke here
Happy to cut the trees, trees completely
Cut the Cadillac cord
They've got the city surrounded
Oh the ends usurp the means, means eventually
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go without me
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go without me
We would
We would
We would just fade away
We would
We would
We would just fade away
Can't you feel the fear itself?
Can't you feel the fear itself?
Can't you feel the fear itself?
Can't you feel the fear itself?
(Can't you?)
Can't you feel the fear itself?
We would
We would
We would just fade away
Fade away
